dang it, i want 18 mpg highway, lol

 

unfortunately I RARELY take it on the highway

 

just go the longer way, easy fix, right?

 

The only places I need to go are on backroads lol, unless going far out of town.

 

Road Trip! lol

 

I have a 4.7 and on the highway running 65-70 i get 17.5-18 with an average city hwy of 15.5

 

City = Sucks
Highway- Sucks less

As someone wisely said earlier, it's a big heavy truck. I didn't get it to win a fuel economy contest.

Not sure of the numbers on my '02 with the 5.9 (~15 mpg combined) but I do know, when I go down the highway, I want the tonneau cover on

 

02 4.7, 2 WD, Quad cab. I'm getting about 11.5 if I run 89 or better octane. On 87, I get about 11.2. I haven't taken it on the highway in awhile. And that is with a Homemade CAI with a K&N cone filter. I'm trying a new setup with 4" pvc from the throttle body to the stock air box with a K&N replacement filter. I also just had the fuel injectors cleaned at 86,000 miles. I know it's a truck, but when I first bought i new, I got 14 in the city.
